Abstract. The flow and heat transfer in an annulus between rotating coaxial cylinders, with non-erodible porous lining, is investigated. The flow in the porous lining is obtained by using Brinkman equation. At the boundary between the porous lining and the free flow (the so called nominal surface), the velocity slip and the temperature slip are used. A quasi-numerical technique developed by the authors is employed in obtaining the solution of the energy equation. The effect of the thickness of the porous lining and the permeability on the velocity and the Nusselt numbers at the walls is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
